Strawberry Wine Recipes!!

I have never met a strawberry wine that I did not like. Many people think of thick syrupy sweet when they think of strawberry wine but in reality there is a wide range of flavor possibilities using strawberries.

If you have the chance to use wild strawberries for your wine you are one lucky wine maker!! This will be a wine beyond compare. Wild strawberries tend to be more flavorful than domestic strawberries. So if you get the chance... pick some wild strawberries!

Don't be afraid to be creative with your wine making. Take these recipes as a general guideline and have some fun!

For example... replace the acid blend with a can of frozen lemonade and add the zest from 2 or 3 lemons to your straining bag. Mmmmmm... Strawberry Lemonade wine!

Strawberry Wine Recipes

1 Gallon

Enough water to make 1 gallon

4 lbs strawberries (fresh or frozen)

2 lbs sugar (you can use light honey if you like)

1 tsp acid blend (or juice from 1 lemon)

1/8 tsp tannin

1 tsp yeast nutrient

1 crushed Campden tablet

1/2 tsp pectic enzyme

1 pkt champagne yeast or Montrachet yeast

Wash your berries and remove the stems. Make sure that you cut out any bad parts. Put your strawberries into a nylon straining bag, put it into your primary fermenter and squash your berries.

Boil about 3 quarts of water and add your sugar or honey and stir until sugar/honey is dissolved. Skim off any film if you need to.

Pour your sugar water over your strawberries and add enough water to make 1 gallon.
